PriceSmart (ISIN US7415111092) stock closed at USD 170.68 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, gaining 1.81 percent as the membership warehouse-club operator approaches its next earnings date. The next fiscal report is scheduled for October 26, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Quarterly revenue outpaces EPS

PriceSmart generated USD 1.48 billion in fiscal Q3 2026 revenue, an increase of 12.5 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Diluted EPS came to USD 1.28, below the USD 1.32 consensus estimate, while the prior-year quarter produced EPS of USD 1.14, according to MarketBeat.

The combination points to a clear split in the latest report: sales growth remained double digit, but quarterly earnings missed expectations by USD 0.04. That distinction matters ahead of the October 26 release because revenue momentum alone did not prevent an EPS shortfall in fiscal Q3.

Consensus target stays below price

Investing.com lists a Buy consensus from three analysts, with an average 12-month price target of USD 166.00, a high target of USD 198.00 and a low target of USD 135.00. Its rating table also shows one Buy recommendation, two Hold ratings and zero Sell ratings, making the target range wider than the average label suggests.

A separate MarketBeat overview reports two Buy ratings and a USD 198.00 consensus target, while naming Jefferies Financial Group's USD 198.00 target from August 12, 2026. The differing analyst counts and averages make the October earnings release an important checkpoint for whether the recent sales pace can translate into stronger profit delivery.

Stock closed at USD 170.68

PriceSmart's October 2 session covered USD 168.82 to USD 170.97, with 286,268 shares traded. The 52-week range was USD 111.68 to USD 199.84, leaving the stock below its yearly high while its market capitalization stood at USD 5.3 billion.

The investor-relations page lists USD 5.7 billion in trailing revenue, 57 warehouse clubs, 2.14 million membership accounts and operations in 12 countries as of May 31, 2026, according to PriceSmart. Those operating figures frame the next report around two measurable questions: whether membership scale continues to support revenue growth and whether earnings catch up with sales.
